The final exam will be a cumulative exam. The final exam will replace your lowest test
grade whether it increases or decreases your grade. If you miss one of the tests, your final
exam grade will replace the missed test. The final exam will only replace one test. If you

Course Policies
Lectures - Attendance for all lectures is strongly encouraged, but I do not absolutely require
attendance. However, attending at least some of the lectures (especially during the first two or
three weeks) is necessary, for otherwise you may be reported as a “no show” in the course
and be removed from the class roll. If you miss a lecture, you are still responsible for the
material presented including any assignments or announcements. If you miss a lecture,
please contact a fellow student (not the instructor) for notes, homework assignments, etc.
Tests - Participation in all Tests is mandatory. Absence will result in a grade of zero. Tests
and Exams will be given “closed book”. Calculators such as a TI-83/84 are allowed for use
during tests unless specifically prohibited by the instructor on certain questions. Calculators
with a computer algebra system (CAS), such as the TI-89 are specifically prohibited
from use on tests! No cell phones, laptops, internet use, etc. are allowed on tests!
Missing a Test – I do not give “make up” tests. However, please contact me immediately by
email if you know you will miss a test due to some extenuating circumstance such as illness
or family emergency. It may be possible for you to still take a test before it has been returned
to the class; however, there are no guarantees in this regard. This will be handled on a case-
by-case basis, but in no case will you be able to take the test once it is handed back to the
class.
Course Drop Date
The last day to withdraw from this course without penalty is Wednesday March 2, 2016.

Student Conduct and Academic Integrity
Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct,
as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of
Conduct addresses the university’s policy on academic honesty, including provisions regarding
plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to university materials,
misrepresentation/falsification of university records or academic work, malicious removal,
retention, or destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities
and/or services, and misuse of student identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic
misconduct will be handled through the established procedures of the Department of Student
Conduct and Academic Integrity (SCAI), which includes either an “informal” resolution by a
faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may
subject a student to the Code of Conduct’s minimum one semester suspension requirement.
